My grandmother, grandfather, and some of their children/relatives lived in Monse around 1946. Two photos from that time show a town already pretty much "dead", according to Grandma's notes. Would it be okay for me to use one or two pictures of Monse's buildings on my Ancestry.com website? I will give you full photographer's credit and include the URL of your Monse webpage. If not, I understand and will respect your copyright. Thanks for posting these great pix.
